Audio amplifiers aren't usually on the top of anyone's list when it comes to PC peripherals and hardware. Or, even in the top five. But they should be. If you're serious about graphics quality then you should be the same about audio quality. And with premium headsets only part of the equation you'll need a decent headphone amp to tell the full aural story.

The Sennheiser GSX 1000 is an external audio amplifier that is built for providing intuitive hands-on control for any headset, in addition to excellent audio quality. With a large volume dial surrounding an LED touch panel it’s the sort of external sound-card that will make people stop and wonder what they’re looking at. The deep red of the LED display that lights up only when it needs to, thanks to a proximity sensor, is the sort of high-tech thing that although may not feel essential - is undeniably cool. But, underneath the hood is where it counts when it comes to sound hardware. And thankfully, the Sennheiser GSX 1000 has got you covered there too.
